Chapter 317 Puyi's Court Dress
"Really? Uncle Feng, you have an unusual history for this copper stove?" Zhang Junping smiled.
"That's natural. This is a secret collection of the Qing Palace. The last emperor Puyi mortgaged this Xuande furnace to the Bank of Communications..."
"Uncle Feng, your story is wonderful, but orderly inheritance does not depend on whose story is wonderful.
To listen to stories, I went to Panjiayuan and Liulichang. The stories about those people who dump antiques are much more exciting than what you tell. "Zhang Junping said with a mocking smile, curling his lips.
"It's different, I'm not a story!" Old Feng took out a package wrapped in kraft paper from the box while talking.
When I opened the kraft paper, there was still a layer of kraft paper inside. After opening five layers of kraft paper in a row, the contents inside were revealed, which was still a kraft bag.
Old Feng carefully took out a stack of documents from inside.
"Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the old man was the youngest comprador of the Bank of Communications." Old Feng said quite proudly.
Zhang Junping looked at Old Feng with some differences.
"This old Dong XZ is really deep!
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the bank comprador was not something that ordinary people could do. First of all, they had to know English, and secondly, they had to have a certain property or credit guarantee at home.
This old thing actually pretended not to understand English. "
"This Xuande furnace was bought at that time. The documents here are the procedures for the mortgage loan of Puyi at that time, and there are also photos of the records of the secret collection of the Qing Palace."
"Uncle Feng, according to your age, the time doesn't seem right?" Zhang Junping questioned softly.
After the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1912, Puyi continued to live in the palace, and was not driven out of the palace until 1924 by Feng Yuxiang.
In the past 12 years, in order to maintain his luxurious life, Puyi sold off the secret collections of the Qing palace.
Some of the secret collections of the Qing palace that were living among the people were stolen by the eunuchs and maids of the year, and a large part was sold off by Puyi.
"Hehe, I didn't say that I personally provided loans to Puyi.
My father is also a comprador of the Bank of Communications, and it was my father who did the mortgage loan business for Puyi back then...
It's just that this loan business didn't enter the account of the Bank of Communications, but was bought back by my father privately...
At that time, it took my father a whole ten small yellow croakers! "Old Fengtou told another more exciting story.
"The story is wonderful, with ups and downs..." Zhang Junping applauded lightly.
"Master Zhang can take a look at this Bank of Communications document, or ask someone from the Bank of Communications to verify these documents. They are all true..." Lao Feng applauded Zhang Junping mockingly, not at all annoyed, Instead, he explained it carefully.
After speaking, he picked up another document, which was a yellowed ancient book, "There are these. This is a document that records the secret collection of the Qing Palace. My father specifically asked Puyi to find it and put it as a mortgage with the Xuande furnace!"
"Pu Yi did not waste many things back then. Uncle Feng was so caring, why didn't his father collect a few more?" Zhang Junping did not continue to struggle with the authenticity of the Xuande furnace, but asked with a smile.
Although he didn't read the ancient book, Zhang Junping basically believed what Old Feng said. The yellowed ancient book was the authentic one, and Zhang Junping had such a Qing palace archive in his hand.
The archives of the Qing Palace record all kinds of secrets in the palace of the Qing Dynasty. There are records of the daily life of the emperor's concubines in the harem, and there are also records of the secret collection of the Qing Palace. Everything is recorded in every detail.
During the period of the Republic of China, Feng Yuxiang's army, in order to raise military expenses, took 15 catties and 4000 sacks of Ming and Qing palace archives and sold waste paper for a total of [-] yuan.
Except for a small part that was collected by those who cared about it, less than one-tenth of it was recovered after the country spent a lot of effort, and a large number of precious archives and classics were damaged and lost. In this respect, Feng Yuxiang can be said to be a sinner in history.
And Old Feng Tou's father is obviously a caring person.
"Of course there are more. It's just that this one hasn't been discussed well, and it's not easy to bring out the rest." Old Feng stroked his beard and said with a calm smile.
"If there is, you might as well take out one piece and set a price for one piece!"
"Okay!" Old Feng hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked into the inner room again.
Take out a wooden box again, this wooden box is very finely crafted, and the material is more exquisite, the material of small-leaf red sandalwood is engraved with cloud and dragon patterns on it.
This is another antique treasure box from the Qing Dynasty, which is very valuable.
Opening the treasure box reveals the item inside, which is a golden item.
Zhang Junping narrowed his eyes, it turned out to be a bright yellow dragon robe.
"Uncle Feng, can you get started?" Looking at the bright yellow clothes in the treasure box, Zhang Junping asked directly.
"Master Zhang, please do it!"
Zhang Junping stood up, put on his gloves, and carefully picked up the bright yellow dress.
When I picked it up, I realized that it was not a dragon robe, but a dress.
The costumes of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty are divided into three categories, formal clothes, auspicious clothes, and ordinary clothes.
Dragon robe is a small piece of auspicious clothes, including auspicious crowns, dragon robes, and dragon coats.
The dress is the highest standard of clothing worn by the emperor, and it can only be worn a few times in a lifetime.
During the 17 years of Emperor Shunzhi's reign, he wore a uniform [-] times, an average of once a year.
In fact, auspicious clothes are worn only a few times a year, and are usually worn on important occasions such as sacrifices and weddings.
Ordinary clothes are the most worn.
Because dresses are seldom worn, they are only worn on important occasions, such as offering sacrifices to heaven, ascending the throne, and court meetings, etc., so the regulations are particularly strict. To put it bluntly, among the three types of emperor costumes, dresses are the most expensive and have the highest collection value.
In the treasure box are court clothes, court crowns, end covers, Dagon clothes, and supplementary clothes.
It's just that this dress is a bit small, and it can only be worn by three or four-year-old children.
"This is the dress that Pu Yi wore when he ascended the throne for the first time!" Old Feng Tou explained beside him.
Zhang Junping nodded, this is right, Pu Yi was three years old when he first ascended the throne, and he was right in a small dress.
What Zhang Junping picked up was the court dress in the dress. The court dress had one dragon embroidered on the front, the back and both arms, five dragons embroidered on the waist and nine dragons on the front and back, two dragons on the skirt, and four dragons on the skirt. ; Two dragons are embroidered on the shawl, and one dragon is embroidered on the end of the sleeve.
There are also sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, Chinese insects, 軼, and 軻. These are the eight chapters of the twelve chapters that belong to the clothes.
Clothes, clothes are upper garments, and clothes are lower garments.
The upper garment has eight chapters of sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, Chinese insects, Fu, Fu, and the lower garment has four chapters of Zao, Huo, Zongyi, and rice noodles. There are twelve chapters in total.
Although this is a small court dress, it is still made in strict accordance with the Qing court regulations, and it is not bad at all.
Puyi ascended the throne three times, and when he ascended the throne for the first time, the dresses were carefully made according to the regulations of the Qing palace.
The next two times, each time was worse than the first time.
After reading it carefully, Zhang Junping picked up the chaoguan, chaoguan, endmask, Dagon suit, and make-up suit to look at again.
Then put it down and nodded in satisfaction.
This thing is right!
